With 18+ years in software engineering and technical leadership, I work equally as a hands-on engineer and as a fractional technical leader (Fractional CTO, VP of Engineering, or Head of Engineering, depending on what a team needs), brought in for whichever a project actually needs, not just whichever role sounds more senior.
My experience spans the full software development lifecycle across a range of industries, including several years deep in fintech, covering trading systems and capital markets infrastructure, alongside consumer and B2B SaaS work.
I believe in rolling up my sleeves and diving into code just as readily as I step back to set technical direction. That practical, engaged approach is what lets teams ship high-quality, maintainable software that actually solves the business problem in front of them. I'm especially drawn to legacy codebases: untangling what's there and modernizing it incrementally rather than starting over.
